The latest episode of This Week In Property takes listeners on a fascinating journey into the world of property redevelopment, featuring an ambitious project set in the scenic coastal town of Montrose, Scotland.

Host Richard sits down with three key figures and former individual guests on the podcast—Andrew Lindsay, David Liddell, and Taylor McDonald—who are spearheading the transformation of the historic Grey Harlings Hotel.

Their conversation is packed with insights, challenges, and inspiring moments, making this episode a must-listen for property investors, developers, and anyone passionate about revitalising historic spaces.

Why Grey Harlings? Why Montrose?

For those unfamiliar with Montrose, this charming town, nestled along Scotland’s rugged northeast coast, boasts stunning seaside views, a deep sense of history, and a strong local community. However, like many towns with historic architecture, maintaining and modernising key properties is essential for keeping the area vibrant and attractive.

The Grey Harlings Hotel, once a beloved establishment, had reached a point where it required significant investment and vision to restore its full potential. Enter Andrew, David, and Taylor—three developers with a shared passion for bringing new life to old buildings.

But what made them choose this specific property? What opportunities did they see that others may have overlooked? Without giving too much away, their insights into location, market potential, and strategic investment are invaluable for anyone interested in property development.

The Challenges of Redevelopment

Taking on a historic building is never a straightforward process. In the episode, the team reveals some of the unexpected obstacles they faced—from planning permissions and structural surprises to the intricate balancing act of maintaining character while integrating modern design elements.

Anyone who has ever embarked on a renovation project, big or small, will relate to their stories of hidden costs, timeline shifts, and the delicate negotiation between preserving history and meeting contemporary standards.

But beyond the technicalities, their discussion highlights the deeper challenges of development: understanding community needs, engaging with other local businesses, and making bold decisions that will shape the future of the site.

A Vision for the Future

While the full details of the transformation are best heard directly from the team, one thing is clear—their plans for the Grey Harlings Hotel are as inspiring as they are ambitious. They aren’t just giving an old building a facelift; they are creating a space with renewed purpose, designed to serve both locals and visitors alike.

What does the future hold for this landmark property? How will the team’s choices impact the Montrose community? And what lessons can other property investors take from their experience? These are just a few of the tantalising questions raised in the episode.

Why You Should Tune In

Whether you’re a seasoned property investor, a budding developer, or simply someone who enjoys stories of transformation and perseverance, this episode offers something for everyone. The passion and expertise of Andrew, David, and Taylor shine through, making for an engaging and insightful discussion.
